Media & Consumerism in Horror Movies
What we watch, buy and share shapes who we are. In 18 episodes we looked at consumerism in They Live! and Slaxx, media influence and desensitization in Videodrome, 24-hour news and media representation in Gone Girl, and the power of words in Pontypool. Misery turns to toxic fandom and obsession, Scrooged to Reaganomics and the television industry, and Don't F**k with Cats to people who kill in order to become famous.
